科技类真题

【When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. 

It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?】

Pat老师评语：考官文学功底深厚，局部甚至使用相当抽象的“意识流”写法。

学习愉快喵~O(∩_∩)O哈~

Interestingly, technology can positively contribute to the keeping alive of traditional skills and ways of life. For example, the populations of some islands are too small to have normal schools. Rather than breaking up families by sending children to the mainland, educational authorities have been able to use Internet to deliver schooling online. In addition, the Internet, and modern refrigeration techniques, are being used to keep alive the traditional skills of producing salmons; it can now be ordered from and delivered to, anywhere in the world. In conclusion, without suggesting that all technology is necessarily good, I think it is by no means "pointless", in any way, to try to keep traditions alive with technology. We should not ignore technology, because it can be our friend and support our way of life.
有趣的是，科技还可以积极地去帮助人们更好地保留传统技术和生活方式。就像有些小岛屿上的居民人数太少，以至于岛上根本没有规范的学校。与其让这些居民把孩子送出家庭到主岛上去上学，还不如让这些孩子通过互联网来接受教育当局的在线教育。另外，因特网和冷冻技术这些现代科技可以有效地使像制作鲑鱼这样的传统工艺更加能发扬光大，现在人们可以从世界各地来订购这些鲑鱼了。 综上所述，我并不是说所有的科技都一定是好的，但从各方面讲，用它们来更好地保存发扬传统技术绝对不是“无意义”的。我们不应该忽视科技的重要性，因为它是帮助维持我们生活方式的好伙伴。
